The Five Worst Politicians Of All Time

Categories: Featured

Power corrupts, in some cases way more than others.

Here, in ascending order of awfulness, are the politicians who've abused their privilege the most horribly, staining their records with terrible policies and crappy excuses.

5--Adolph Hitler. Not nice. Really icky. Blech.

4--Sarah Palin. A scary, convoluted, self-proclaimed victim who'll walk on your carcass as she rides the ratings ladder.

3--Rudy Giuliani. See George W. Bush below, but on a more local scale (though I'll admit he was a little bit comforting after 9/11).

2--Richard Nixon. A slime, a sleaze, and not terribly attractive. One chromosome away from total psycho!

1--George W. Bush. A complete liar and opportunist who sold us out for personal gain, then kept on lying with blood on his hands. I've had it with the softening of people's feelings towards him now that he's an abandoned relic. Please! You win, Georgie! Eat caca!

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

This list tells me that you're scared. You're scared sh*tless of what is going to happen in November.

I learned a lot from this list. But everything I learned was about the author.

Hilarious!! You have heard of the Gulag, right? And the Killing Fields? Or are you just a twenty something NY wannabe funnyman who thinks the world started in 2000? Because this list is infantile, and reflects pretty poorly on your intellect. And Please note that I post as myself, which most of your cheering section do not.

How unhappy you must be, Michael. So sad.

Yeah, Stalin's body count pales next to that of Sarah Palin. And Mao? What's killing a few tens of millions compared to Richard Nixon's phased price controls?

Nice to see you have a clear-eyed view of world history.

LOL!  It is so funny and creative to list mediocre politicians from a rival party as the "worst politicians of all time!"  Gosh, I am pretty sure that's not been done before by like, nearly every goddamned person on the Internet!  Your comedic timing and originality is so brilliant!  You should be giving lessons to Dave Chappelle because every time I read this, I'm like LOL! New witty insight!  This is so funny that I am going to post it on my fridge so I can have a solid LOL every time I eat!  So much LOL, they should call you MichLOL MustLOL!  See ya next time, you wacky LOL machine, you!

This list is pretty stupid and not even sort of accurate. It seems like it was just a way to bash Bush and Palin.  Why call it the worst politicians 'of all time' if you are only going to include people from this and last century? And they all happen to be American except Hitler? (Hitler seems to be included only to make Bush and Palin look worse.)  Obviously George W Bush was a bad president but if there were an even somewhat accurate list of the worst politicians of all time he wouldn't even deserve to be in the top 100, let alone number one. Even if this list was limited to  bad US presidents Bush shouldn't be number one. (Buchanan, Pierce and Harding were significantly worse, just to name a few.) So Bush and Gillian are worse than Kim_Jong-il, Stalin or Mugabe? Palin is worse than Joseph Mcarthy or Strom Thrumond?  If this was meant as humor it also failed. Bashing Bush and saying he is worse than Hitler stopped being funny over ten years ago after the 100,000th time it was done. This was simply a very uncreative way of saying 'hey guys, remember how we hate Bush and Palin?!'

Bush is totally bogus! He is the total opposite of the Beatles!

Replace Hitler with John McCain for #5 and this list would be way more sweet!

STALIN.......without a doubt. He killed more than any dictator. He was in power from 1924-1953. S-C-A-R-Y.

But I also have to say Reagan's indifference to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the early 1980's was an OUTRAGE. Shame Reagan Shame !!!!

Pleaseee.Sarah hasn't been around that long enough to add her to your list. Just because she's a Twittering Twerp does it seem like she's been around for ever.

Oall time??? Of ALL time? Well, then, did ya ever hear of Pol Pot, Nero... Don't give the power that possessed a maniac like Hitler to a stupid bug like Sarah Palin. And GW Bush was merely a pawn for much darker forces. At the very least Cheney should be on your list if Bush is on the list. Nixon was that bad? Like worst ever bad? Um, no. I know you burn over Mr. G's squashing of downtown nightlife and prono and...but Giuliani is a megalomaniac but hardly an evil leader. Unless we find out Sarah & Rudy & George drink blood.

I'm all for Palin/Bush/Nixon bashing, but come on, really?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...

Theodore Gilmore Bilbo (October 13, 1877 – August 21, 1947) was an American politician. Bilbo, a Democrat, twice served as governor of Mississippi (1916–20, 1928–32) and later became a U.S. Senator (1935–47). A master of filibuster and scathing rhetoric, a rough-and-tumble fighter in debate, he made his name a synonym for white supremacy. Proud of being a racist, Bilbo believed in the natural inferiority of black people, was a fiery defender of segregation, and was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.[1][2]

Or even Tom Delay? Pol Pot? Stalin?

Perspective people. Perspective.

Bush Sr. is by far the worst. He was the puppet master behind Reagan and Bush Jr. He and his CIA buddies set Carter up to fail with the whole hostage crisis in Iran (you think it was just a coincidence that those hostages were released literally five minutes after Reagan was sworn in? Please.) Oh, not to mention that he knew about 9/11 before it happened, even helping bin Laden's family members leave the US that very day. He's a monster.

With George W. Bush must go his cohort in crimes against humanity, Dick Cheney, and their sidekick Karl Rove. Nothing like that triumvirate!

That needs rewriting: In my mind, the arrogant motherfucker dick cheney and the hustler hiring cunty karl are at the same level as hitler and mussolini. Now it makes better sense and is grammatically correct.

Replace Hitler with someone you don't like (including him is clearly just to pretend that this is sth it's not) and name it as it should be, worst US politicians. It's not like any other country in the world exists.
